What is the purpose of the Intelligence Test?
An intelligence test is also referred to as a cognitive assessment and is often administered to obtain more information about a student’s intellectual strengths and weaknesses and her overall cognitive potential. The test gives general information about a student’s abilities compared to others his age in several areas. The tests are intended to be a predictor of how well and in what ways a child will learn new information. However, other factors must ALWAYS be considered. A high IQ does not guarantee success, just as a low IQ does not guarantee failure.
